NCT ID NCT05606406

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will test how changes in oxygen levels affect the heart's electrical signals in 70 people, some with oxygen dependence and some healthy. Participants will receive increasing amounts of oxygen at night while their heart activity is monitored. The goal is to better understand the link between low oxygen and heart rhythm changes.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors better understand how low oxygen affects the heart, potentially improving care for people with COPD or other breathing problems.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (70 people) that only measures heart signals, not health outcomes. It may not lead to any direct treatment or change in care.
